Ensure the power cord is undamaged and rated for outdoor use (e.g., hey-duty extension cord).
Operation Precautions
Never operate in wet conditions (e.g., rain, damp grass) to oid short circuits.
Keep the cord behind the mower to prevent accidental cutting.
Personal Protection
Wear rubber-soled shoes, gloves, and safety goggles.
Avoid loose clothing that could get caught in moving parts.
Maintenance & Storage
Regularly inspect the blade, motor, and cord for wear.
Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent corrosion.
Comparison of Safety Features for Corded vs. Cordless Mowers
| Feature | Corded Electric Mower | Cordless Electric Mower |
|---|---|---|
| Power Source | Requires GFCI outlet & extension cord | Battery-powered, no cord hazards |
| Wet Conditions | High risk; oid use | Lower risk (but still unsafe) |
| Maintenance | Cord inspection critical | Battery replacement needed |
| Best For | Small to medium lawns | Large lawns (no cord limits) |
